Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to the field of D2D communications, and in particular, to a V2X communication method and a device.
  • BACKGROUND
  • In recent years, device to device (D2D) communication attracts increasing attention from people. The D2D communication may be applied not only to communication between vehicles and communication between a vehicle and a roadside unit, but also to a plurality of scenarios such as communication between a person and a vehicle, to improve safety and reliability of road traffic and improve traffic pass efficiency.
  • The D2D communication is specifically divided into a D2D discovery mode and a D2D communication mode based on different transmission modes. In the D2D communication mode, data is sent by using a scheduling assignment (SA) + data (service data) mode. When needing to send service data, user equipment first sends SA information. The SA information indicates a location of a time-frequency resource and a coding manner of the service data sent from the transmit end. After successfully receiving and decoding the SA information, user equipment used as a receive end receives the corresponding service data at the location of the time-frequency resource indicated by the SA information, and decodes the corresponding service data based on the coding manner indicated by the SA information.
  • To receive the SA information, the receive end needs to perform blind detection in an SA resource pool. However, because a possible transmission resource of the SA information is a location of any physical resource block (PRB) in the SA resource pool, if a system bandwidth exceeds 10 MHz (corresponding to 50 PRBs), the receive end needs to blindly detect SA more than 50 times, resulting in relatively high detection complexity and relatively high power consumption at the receive end.
    3GPP TSG-RAN WG1 #78bis, R1-143819, discloses that in a given subframe, the maximum supported size of the combined SA resource pools (ie. the sum of the mode 1 and mode 2 SA resource pools) is 50. SA resource index is an index into the SA resource pool and indicated both time and frequency dimensions. Second frequency resource is offset from first frequency resource by Nf/2.

    DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
  • To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following further describes implementations of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the implementation scenario includes user equipment (UE) and a base station. The UE provided in this embodiment of the present invention may be an in-vehicle communications system, or user equipment mounted on a vehicle, or some user equipments such as a smartphone or a handheld device that are held by a user in the vehicle, or a handheld terminal device and a wearable device of a pedestrian or a rider, for example, a smartwatch or a smart helmet. The base station may be a device that has a radio resource management function, and can communicate with the user equipment, or is used as a central controller to assist direct communication between user equipments.
  • To enable the user equipment to learn a location of an available frequency domain resource, the base station may add frequency domain resource location information and time domain resource location information to resource pool configuration information. The time domain resource location information may be represented in an existing resource pool configuration manner by using two parameters: timeOffsetIndicator: a time domain resource offset indicator; and subframeBitmap: subframe bitmap information.
  • In this embodiment of the present invention, the frequency domain resource location information includes a frequency domain spacing between two consecutive D2D resources and a frequency domain resource offset indicator. The following separately describes the two parameters:
    1. (1) The frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive D2D resources.
  • The frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive D2D resources may use any representation form of a frequency domain resource granularity as a unit. For example, for an SA resource pool, a frequency domain spacing between two consecutive SA resources uses a PRB or a sub-band as a unit. The sub-band refers to a set of some consecutive PRBs. Certainly, for a service data resource pool, a frequency domain spacing between two consecutive service data resources may also use a PRB or a sub-band as a unit.
  • It should be noted that the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive D2D resources may be preconfigured, configured by the base station, or determined based on a system bandwidth. The preconfiguration and the configuration by the base station are explicit configuration and are directly represented in a form of a numerical value or the like. The determining based on the system bandwidth may be considered as implicit configuration, and to be specific, a correspondence between a system bandwidth and a frequency domain spacing is preset. For example, a frequency domain spacing corresponding to a system bandwidth of 10 MHz is 1, and a frequency domain spacing corresponding to a system bandwidth of 20 MHz is 2. Therefore, if a current system bandwidth is 10 MHz, it is determined that the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive D2D resources is 1.
  • The frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive D2D resources may have different explanations for different types of D2D data. For example, for SA information, the frequency domain spacing between the two D2D resources may be a frequency domain spacing between two consecutive physical resource blocks used for transmitting the scheduling assignment SA information. For service data, the frequency domain spacing between the two D2D resources may be a frequency domain spacing between first physical resource blocks in two consecutive physical resource block sets used for transmitting the service data. The service data may be transmitted by using a physical resource block set including a plurality of consecutive physical resource blocks. Therefore, the frequency domain spacing herein may be a frequency domain spacing between a first physical resource block in a physical resource block set used for transmitting service data 1 and a first physical resource block in a physical resource block set used for transmitting service data 2.
  • (2) A frequency domain resource pool indicator. The frequency domain resource pool indicator is represented in at least two following manners:
    In a first representation manner, the frequency domain resource pool indicator is represented by using a frequency domain resource offset indicator.
  • The frequency domain resource offset indicator may use any representation form of a frequency domain resource granularity as a unit. For example, the frequency domain resource offset indicator uses a physical resource block (PRB) or a sub-band as the unit.
  • Further, a reference location of the frequency domain resource offset indicator is a start location of the system bandwidth, for example, a first PRB; or a reference location of the frequency domain resource offset indicator is an end location of the system bandwidth, for example, a last PRB.
  • Assuming that the start location of the system bandwidth is used as the reference location and the PRB is used as the unit of the frequency domain resource offset indicator, if the frequency domain resource offset indicator is 4, it may be determined that a start location of a frequency domain resource pool is a fourth PRB after the start location of the system bandwidth.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a time-frequency resource according to an embodiment of the present invention. A lateral axis t is used for representing a time domain resource, and a longitudinal axis f is used for representing a frequency domain resource. The frequency domain resource offset indicator FreqOffsetIndicator is used for indicating a frequency domain offset of a D2D resource based on a reference location, and the frequency domain resource offset indicator may be considered as a start location or an end location of the D2D resource in a frequency domain.
  • In a second representation manner, the frequency domain resource pool indicator is represented by using a start location and an end location of an available frequency domain resource.
  • In the second representation manner, the start location and the end location of the frequency domain resource may be represented in a manner of a PRB index or the like.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a time-frequency resource according to an embodiment of the present invention. A lateral axis t is used for representing a time domain resource, and a longitudinal axis f is used for representing a frequency domain resource. A start location (PRB_start) and an end location (PRB_end) of the frequency domain resource are used for indicating a frequency domain range of a D2D resource.
  • In the following, only an example in which the SA resource pool is represented in the first representation manner is used for description. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a D2D communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the method includes the following steps.
  • 400. A base station sends resource pool configuration information to UE, where the resource pool configuration information includes frequency domain resource location information and time domain resource location information, and the frequency domain resource location information includes a frequency domain resource offset indicator and a frequency domain spacing between two consecutive SA resources.
  • The resource pool configuration information may be carried in a system broadcast message or another signaling such as radio resource control (RRC) signaling or common control signaling of the base station. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
  • 401. The UE receives the resource pool configuration information.
  • It should be noted that signaling that specifically carries the resource pool configuration information may be preconfigured by a system, so that the UE extracts the resource pool configuration information from the signaling when receiving the signaling.
  • Whether the frequency domain resource offset indicator is relative to a start location or an end location of a system bandwidth may be preconfigured by the system, so that the UE may determine a frequency domain range of an available frequency domain resource with reference to the system bandwidth when receiving the frequency domain resource indicator.
  • 402. The UE determines an available frequency domain resource based on the resource pool configuration information.
  • Because the frequency domain resource offset indicator and the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive SA resources are already learned, frequency domain resources that may be used for transmitting D2D data may be learned.
  • Step 402 may specifically include the following step 402A and step 402B.
  • 402A. The UE determines a frequency domain range of the available frequency domain resource based on a total quantity of physical transport blocks within a system bandwidth and the frequency domain resource offset indicator.
  • For example, when the total quantity of physical transport blocks within the system bandwidth is 100 and the frequency domain resource offset indicator is 4, it may be determined that the frequency domain range of frequency domain resources is PRBs whose PRB indexes are 4 to 99.
  • 402B. The UE determines a location of the available frequency domain resource based on the frequency domain range of the available frequency domain resource and the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive SA resources.
  • Based on the foregoing example, if the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive SA resources is 4 and a unit is a PRB, the location of the available frequency domain resource may be determined. To be specific, PRBs that can be used for SA transmission are 4, 8, 12, 16, ..., and so on.
  • In addition, in step 402, the following process may be alternatively used to determine the available frequency domain resource:
    applying the following formula 1 if the reference location of the frequency domain resource offset indicator is the start location of the system bandwidth:
    • formula 1: Mod(m-FreqOffsetIndicator, InterDis)=0; or
    • applying the following formula 2 if the reference location of the frequency domain resource offset indicator is the end location of the system bandwidth:
    • formula 2: Mod(N-1-FreqOffsetIndicator-m, InterDis)=0, where
    • m is an index of a physical resource block PRB in which the available frequency domain resource is located, m is an integer less than N, N is the total quantity of the PRBs within the system bandwidth, FreqOffsetIndicator is the frequency domain resource offset indicator, and InterDis is the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive device to device D2D resources.
  • The formula 1 is used as an example.
  • For example, if FreqOffsetIndicator=0 and InterDis=4, PRBs in the system that can be used for SA transmission are 0, 4, 8, 12....
  • For example, if FreqOffsetIndicator=8 and InterDis=2, PRBs in the system that can be used for SA transmission are 8, 10, 12, 14....
  • For example, if FreqOffsetIndicator=1 and InterDis=2, PRBs in the system that can be used for SA transmission are 1, 3, 5, 7....
  • 403. The UE performs detection on the available frequency domain resource.
  • In this case, because a frequency domain range of a PRB in which SA information is located is greatly reduced, when performing blind detection, the UE may perform detection only on the determined location of the available frequency domain resource, so that a detection range and detection times are greatly reduced, thereby reducing detection complexity and device power consumption.
  • 404. The UE receives service data information when detecting SA information.
  • After receiving the SA information, the UE may receive service data from a transmit end by using a location of a time-frequency resource indicated by the SA information.
  • In a scenario in which an SA resource and a service data resource are consecutive in a frequency domain, the UE may alternatively directly determine, based on a time-frequency resource on which the SA information is located, a time-frequency resource on which the service data is located. Therefore, in such a resource representation manner, only an SA resource pool or a data resource pool needs to be configured, and there is no need to configure two resource pools.
  • In the method provided in this embodiment of the present invention, two frequency domain resource indicator parameters are added to SA resource pool configuration information, so that a frequency domain resource of an SA resource pool can be effectively indicated, thereby greatly reducing a detection range and detection times, and reducing detection complexity and device power consumption. In addition, because the configuration information is represented by using the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive SA resources, the base station is allowed to flexibly configure a size of the SA resource, thereby greatly improving resource utilization.
  • The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 uses only the SA resource pool as an example for description. Actually, for a service data resource pool of the D2D data, configuration may be performed in a similar manner. Two frequency domain resource indicator parameters are added to service data resource pool configuration information, so that a frequency domain resource in the service data resource pool can be effectively indicated, thereby greatly reducing a detection range and detection times, and reducing detection complexity and device power consumption.
  • The foregoing embodiments all describe a scenario in which the user equipment is used as a receive end. Actually, the user equipment may alternatively be used as a transmit end for sending D2D data. Specifically, refer to a D2D communication process shown in FIG. 5.
  • 500. A base station sends resource pool configuration information to UE, where the resource pool configuration information includes frequency domain resource location information and time domain resource location information, and the frequency domain resource location information includes a start location and an end location of a frequency domain resource and a frequency domain spacing between two consecutive SA resources.
  • This embodiment of the present invention uses only SA resource pool configuration information of the resource pool configuration information as an example for description. Actually, the resource pool configuration information sent by the base station may include the SA resource pool configuration information and service data resource pool configuration information. Certainly, if an SA resource and a service data resource are consecutive in a frequency domain, alternatively, only the SA resource pool configuration information or the service data resource pool configuration information may be carried, and a frequency domain location of one may be calculated based on that of the other, to improve utilization of the configuration information.
  • 501. The UE receives the resource pool configuration information.
  • 502. The UE determines an available frequency domain resource based on the resource pool configuration information.
  • The UE may determine, based on the start location and the end location of the frequency domain resource, a frequency domain range of the available frequency domain resource, and then determine a location of the available frequency domain resource based on the frequency domain range of the available frequency domain resource and the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive SA resources.
  • For example, when the start location of the frequency domain resource is 10 and the end location of the frequency domain resource is 60, it may be determined that PRBs within the frequency domain range of the frequency domain resource are 10 to 60. If the frequency domain spacing between the two consecutive SA resources is 4 and a unit is the PRB, the location of the available frequency domain resource may be determined. To be specific, PRBs that can be used for SA transmission are 10, 14, 18, 22, ..., and so on.
  • 503. The UE selects any available frequency domain resource from the available frequency domain resource, and sends SA information on a location of the selected time-frequency resource.
  • When selecting a transmission resource of a resource pool, the UE may select the transmission resource from the available frequency domain resource based on the resource pool configuration information, to improve selection efficiency. In addition, a detection range and detection times of the receive end are greatly reduced in a receiving process by using a frequency domain resource of a service data resource pool that is indicated in the configuration information, thereby reducing detection complexity and device power consumption.
